Sea Witch

A Sea Witch was a mage sometimes found on ships whose magical talents drew on the warren of Ruse[1] and aided ocean travel. Sea Witches were shown to have the power to influence weather,[2] to provide enhanced knowledge of channels and currents,[3] to foresee future obstacles, and to provide protection against malevolent magic.[4]

The skilled Ruse practitioners of Mare sneered at the water-witches for the relative simplicity of their magic.[5]

Sea-soothing was an old water-witch's trick for handling rough water. It involved the localized rounding off of wave crests and valleys like oil upon water. It was a simple and easily sustainable effect.[7]
